Quay House, Including Front Garden Railings

Quay House is a house dating from the 1840s and 1850s. It is constructed of painted stuccoed stone rubble with a slate roof, featuring gable ends to the street and brick stacks at each end. The house is two rooms deep and single room wide, with a corridor hall on the right, and the staircase slightly to the left at the rear. It has three storeys and a symmetrical two-window front. Plat bands mark the divisions between the storeys. The gable has a blind oblong panel above two hornless sashes with 3 over 6 panes. The remaining windows are 16-paned sashes, with the ground floor window on the left being a horizontal sliding louvred timber sash. The semi-circular headed doorway is flanked by 6-panelled doors and a fanlight. Iron railings with fleur-de-lys heads extend along the front of the property. The interior features an inner lobby door with a two-panelled base, the upper half glazed with four panes and margin bars, set within a round-arched door surround decorated with a Greek key motif on the pilasters. The staircase rises to the third floor and has a moulded handrail, ramped up to turned newels with stick balusters and a moulded string. Much of the 19th-century joinery remains intact, along with a late 19th-century lavatory.
